Hello all, for the life of my I can’t work out how to post pictures in my posts. Any ideas where I’m going wrong? I’m uploading to imgur, then posting the link to in the add file part of the post box.

    It may be that you need to edit the link. Remove everything after 'jpg'.

    Oh, and after putting the link in the add file box use the space bar, not the enter key.

    First, make sure you're choosing the direct link - the one ending in .jpg - in Imgur.  Paste the link into the Attach file box (the one with the folded corner; it sounds like you're doing this), not into the main body of the post.  If you're on mobile, you often need to hit space to make the image appear.

    EDIT - there's a Test Posts thread for you to have a play: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/17284/test-posts#latest

    As for "when am I ready?"  You'll never be ready.  It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it.  - pmbomb

    Amazing thank you! I was hitting the return key not the space key. Sorted.
